Iran: Further Information: Jailed Kurdish woman at risk of going blind: Zeynab Jalalian - URGENT ACTION by November 30, 2016

Amnesty International
     Iranian Kurdish woman Zeynab Jalalian, who is serving a life sentence imposed after a grossly unfair trial, is at risk of losing her eyesight in prison. The authorities have continued to deny her the specialized medical treatment she needs for a worsening eye condition, including urgent surgery.
    Zeynab Jalalian (born 1982 in Maku), is a Kurdish Iranian, often wrongly described as a political activist. She has been convicted a mohareb and sentenced to death by an Islamic Revolutionary Court for allegedly being a member of the Kurdish militant group PJAK, which she denies. Jalalian's sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.
